Vaccinium myrsinites aka Evergreen Blueberry

Evergreen Blueberry is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

Evergreen Blueberry’s native range is South-eastern N. America.

Evergreen Blueberry should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Evergreen Blueberry loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Evergreen Blueberry prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

The growth of Evergreen Blueberry is not rapid and it doesn't necessitate any extra fertilization. By replacing its potting soil once a year, it should receive ample nutrition. It is important to note that plants obtain their energy from the sun's rays, not from fertilizers.
